Premise

The show centered on fictional television station, KXZX, in Los Angeles's Re-Action News. It was an ensemble piece, with no true main character. Most notable in the show's run was an early use of an ongoing story arc centering on the murder of a Los Angeles socialite. As the show was canceled with little warning, the story arc was never resolved. Also, sports reporter Lou Waller came out of the closet in the last act of the last episode to air. Consequently, the fallout of this event was never shown.
